Luka 6
1 Lyubha limo lya Pumulila a Yeshu bhatendagapita mmigunda ja ngano, bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhatandwibhenje kutema maashe ga ngano, nipulula nitikita na makono kutauna.
One Sabbath while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Ikabheje Ashimapalishayo bhana gubhaabhushiyenje, “Pakuti mmanganya nnalekanga shalia ja Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 A Yeshu gubhaajangulenje, “Bhuli mmangashomanga shibhatendile a Daudi na ashaajabhonji pubhakwetenje shibhanga?
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 Bhenebho bhashinkujinjila nnyumba ja a Nnungu, gubhatolile mikate ja ukonjelo jila, gubhalile nikwaapanganga na ajabhonji. Ikapinjikwaga mundu kulya jene mikatejo ikabhe bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila jikape.”
How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mwana juka Mundu ni Nkulungwa jwa Lyubha lya Pumulila.”
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Lyubha lina lya Pumulila, a Yeshu gubhajinjile nshinagogi gubhajigenye. Nkati mula ashinkupagwa mundu jumo nkono gwakwe gwa nnilo gwashinkupoloka.
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Bhaajiganya bha shalia na Mapalishayo bhatendaga loleyanga shiumilo sha kwaashitakiya a Yeshu, kwa nneyo gwaatemingene nkulolela ibhaga shibhannamye mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
8 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaimanyi ng'aniyo yabhonji, gubhammalanjile jwa poloka nkono jula, “Jinuka, ujime mmujo ja bhandu bhowe.” Mundu jula gwapite jima mmujo.
But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Kungai a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Ngunakummuyanga, shalia jibhalanga bhuli ga Lyubha lya Pumulila, jinakutuleka tutende ya mmbone eu tutende yangali ya mmbone, kutapula gumi guka mundu eu kubhulaga mundu?”
Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”
10 Gubhaalolinje bhandu bhowe bhatemingene pepala, gubhammalanjile mundu jula, “Goloya nkono gwako.” Nigwagolweye, na nkono gwakwe guulamile.
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 Ikabheje gubhatumbelenje kwa kaje, gubhakungulushilenje shibhaatendanje nndi a Yeshu.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Lyubha limo a Yeshu gubhapite kushitumbi, nisheya nkwaajuga a Nnungu.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Pa lyamba lyakwe gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhaagwile bhandu likumi limo na bhabhili gubhaashemilenje, mitume.
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 A Shimoni bhapegwilwe lina na a Yeshu lya Petili na a Ndeleya apwabho na a Yakobho na a Yowana na a Pilipi na a Bhatolomeyo,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 A Matei na a Tomashi na a Yakobho bha a Alupayo na a Shimoni bhashemwaga “A Shelote,” Yani nshilambo apwatanila shilambo shakwe,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 na a Yuda bhana bhabho a Yakobho na a Yuda Ishikaliote bhaatendebhwishe a Yeshu kungai.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 Bhakaeleleje kopoka kushitumbi na ajabhonji, a Yeshu gubhajimi pashibhata. Penepo lyashinkupagwa likundi likulungwa lya bhaajiganywa bhabho na lugwinjili lwa bhandu kukopoka mmbali yowe ja ku Yudea na ku Yelushalemu na mbwani ja ku Tilo na ku Shidoni,
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 gubhaikengenenje kukwaapilikanishiya a Yeshu na kuulamiywa ilwele yabhonji. Bhatendaga kwaalamyanga bhowe na bhashikilwangaga na maoka bhatendaga lamywanga.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Bhandu bhowe bhatendaga lajililanga kwaakwaya, pabha gatendaga kwaakopoka mashili ga lamya bhandu bhowe.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 A Yeshu gubhaatendebhushilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhashite. “Mbaya mmanganya nninginji mmalaganga, pabha Upalume gwa a Nnungu gwenunji.
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 Mbaya mmanganya nkwetenje shibhanga nnaino, Pabha kungai shinnjukutanje. Mbaya mmanganya nkugutanga nnaino, Pabha kungai shinng'ekanje.
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh.
22 “Mbaya mmanganya bhandunji bhanshimangaga, nikummambalanga na kuntukananga na kumputuyanga kwa ligongo lika Mwana juka Mundu.
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.
23 Genego galikoposhela mmanganya nng'angalanje, pabha, upo yenunji kunnungu shiibhe yaigwinji. Pabha bhanangulungwa bhabhonji bhashinkwatendelanga nneyo peyo ashinkulondola bha Nnungu.
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 Ikabheje ole mmanganya nninginji matajili, Pabha tayali mposhilenje.
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 Ole mmanganya nnjukutnje nnaino, Pabha kungai shintotokanje. Ole mmanganya nkuekanga nnaino, Pabha kungai mpinga kwiigutanjilanga.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 Ole mmanganya bhandu bhannumbililangaga, Pabha bhanangulungwa bhabhonji bhashinkwatendelanga nneyo peyo ashinkulondola bha unami.”
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 “Ikabheje ngunakummalanjilanga nkumbilikananga mmwe, mwaapinganje bhamagongo ajenunji, mwaatendelanje ya mmbone bhankunshimanga.
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Mwaajujilanje mboka bhakunnoshanga, na mwaajujilanje kwa Nnungu bhene bhakuntendelanga yangali ya mmbone.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Mundu ankomaga lipapa palitukwa limo muntendebhushiye na lya bhili. Mundu ampokonyolaga likoti lyenu nnanng'ibhililile kutola na lishati.
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Jojowe akunnjuga shindu mumpe, na mundu ampokonyolaga indu yenu nnannonje.
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Mwaatendelanje bhandu malinga shinkupinganga mmanganya bhantendelanje.
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
32 “Ibhaga mwaapingangaga bhakumpingangape, igala shimpegwanje upo yashi? Pabha nkali bhakwetenje yambi bhalipingana.
If you love those who love you, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Na ibhaga mwaatendelangaga ya mmbone bhakuntendelanga ya mmbonepe shimpegwanje upo yashi? Nkali bhakwetenje yambi bhalitendanga nneyo peyo.
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
34 Na ibhaga nkwaapolekanga bhandu bhunkukulupalilanga shibhannipanje, shimpegwanje upo yashi? Nkali bhakwetenje yambi bhanakwaapolekanga bhakwetenje yambi ajabhonji nkupinga bhaabhujishiyanje yowe.
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
35 Ikabhe mmanganya mwaapinganje ashaamagongo ajenunji, na mwaatendelanje ya mmbone, mwaapolekanje nnalolelanje kubhujishiwa, na upo yenunji shiibhe yaikulungwa, na shimmanganje bhana bha Bhakulungwa a Nnungu. Pabha bhenebho ni bhanguja kwa bhangali bha mmbone na bhakapinganga kutenda eja.
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Nkolanje shiya malinga Ainabhenunji shibhali na shiya.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 “Nnaaukumulanje bhananji, na mmanganya nkaukumulwanga, nnaagambanje bhananji na mmanganya nkagambwanga, mwaaleshelelanje ashaajenunji, na mmanganya shinneshelelwanje.
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
38 Mwaapanganje bhananji ibhapinganga, na mmanganya shimpegwanje. Elo, shintabhanje mmapepe genunji shipimilo shigumbele nishinyilwa mpaka pakatika. Pabha shipimilo shosho pesho shinkwaapimilanga bhananji shimpinga pimilwanga na a Nnungu.”
give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje aluno lutango luno. Bhuli, nangalole kukombola kunnongoya mpanda nangalole mwine? Bhowe bhakatumbushilanga nniimbo?
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Nkujiganywa akakwaapunda bhaajiganya bhakwe, ikabheje nkujiganywa amaliyaga kwiijiganya shalandane na bhaajiganya bhakwe.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 Kwa nndi unakushibhona shikoko shili nniyo lika nnjako, ikabheje ukakushibhona shipande shili nniyo lyako?
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's in your own eye?
42 Eu shiukombole bhuli kunnugulila nnjako, Mpwanga linda nikushoye shikoko nniyo lyako, na akuno ukakushibhona shipande shili nniyo lyako? Ugwe nngulumba! Utandubhe kushoya shipande shili nniyo lyako, penepo shulole ukoto, nikombola kushoya shikoko nniyo lika mpwako.
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 “Nkongo gwa mmbone nngaogoya iepo yangali ya mmbone, na wala nkongo gwangali gwa mmbone nngaogoya iepo ya mmbone.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 Nkongo pubhakuumanyanga kwa iepo yakwe. Pabha bhandu bhakaakabhanga tini munkongo gwa mibha, na wala bhakaakabhanga shabhibhu nnitepo lya mbigili.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 Mundu jwa mmbone shatende ya mmbone ikopoka nshibhiko sha mmbone ili muntima gwakwe. Na mundu jwangali jwa mmbone shatende yangali ya mmbone ikopoka nshibhiko shangali shammbone ili muntima gwakwe. Pabha yaabheleketa mundu inngumbele muntima gwakwe.”
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 “Kwa nndi nnanjemanga ‘Bhakulungwa, Bhakulungwa,’ akuno nkatendanga ingummalanjilanga?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 Shininnugulilanje shilanda sha mundu jojowe anyiila nne, nipilikanishiya malobhe gangu nikugakagulila.
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
48 Jwenejo analandana naka mundu akwete lunda, ashenjile pa ndandali niola nshingi ukoto mpaka nnindandawe na nyumba nishimilika. Nushi guigumbele mashi nipobhola, ndanje nikwenda koma nyumba jila, ikabheje jangatenganyika, pabha jashinkushengwa pa ndandali.
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
49 Ikabheje jojowe apilikana malobhe gangu anatende shindu shoshowe, jwenejo analandana na mundu ashenjile nyumba pa lianji gwangali kuolela ukoto, ndanje jakopoka nnushi jikaisheje, gujikomile nyumba jila, gujibhomweshe jowe nigwa.”
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately, completely destroyed.”
